Dear Mr. Editor,
Lots has been said about the alleged incident concerning Shawnette Bollers and Nirvan Singh, and all that was spoken and written about, carry a narrative which seems to suggest that Mr. Singh is guilty! How ironic. I attended school with Nirvan Singh and throughout my school life, I have never heard a word depicting narcissism or racism in him. My memory of him is that he is a wonderful and caring young man who always maintains close relationships with everyone.
The incident with Miss Bollers was an unfortunate one and his father, who is also the former Chancellor of the Judiciary – Justice Carl Singh, issued an apology to her. For me, that does not say that Nirvan is guilty of her allegations; when the truth is told then all those who are making it a social and class issue would be surprised. I must commend Justice Singh, a man of his stature, to apologize to her, it shows his humility and magnanimity.
My understanding is that a few days before this incident Miss Bollers was very abusive to Mrs. Singh and she is always in the habit of showing attitude, and the night of the incident she had Nirvan waiting for over twenty minutes. This is what sparked the incident. Now to be logical, police in this country have always shown power to citizens. I find it difficult to comprehend that Miss Bollers didn’t say a word. I hope that very soon the facts will become available.
Sincerely,
Hana Mohamed
